— And How Greenway Delivers Every Time

In today’s scrap metal market, prices can fluctuate quickly due to shifts in global demand, commodity trading, and supply chain disruptions. While these changes are part of the industry, they can have a major impact on how quickly scrap metal recyclers are able—or willing—to pay their customers.

Unfortunately, during periods of declining metal values, some recycling companies experience tighter cash flow. This often results in delayed payments to their customers, especially those in the construction, demolition, and industrial sectors who rely on timely cash flow to keep projects moving.
